with five runs in the top of the seventh inning aided by a two-run
single from freshman leftfielder Jon Ditore (Shoreline,
Wash./Bishop Blanchet) and a two-run double from Sweeney as they
extended their lead to 10-2. R-MC fought back with three runs in

afternoon.

The Knights jumped out to a 8-0 lead entering the bottom of the

Va./Caroline) home. W&L would then take the lead, 2-1, in the
bottom of the third inning as sophomore centerfielder Terrence
McKelvey (East Islip, N.Y./East Islip) registered a triple and then
scored on a wild pitch from junior righthander Nolan Shaffer
(Hegins, Pa./Tri-Valley). Two BC scores in the top of the fifth
inning off an RBI triple from Brooks, who would eventually score on
a double from Edwards, gave the Eagles a 3-2 advantage, but the
Generals responded as a sacrifice fly from McKelvey sent Livingston
home in the bottom of the fifth inning.

The contest was knotted at 3-3 leading into the bottom of the
